## Workflow overview

To create and manage a Customer Match audience in a Google Ads account, complete the
following steps:

1. [Create an audience](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/devguides/audiences/google-ads/customer-match/create-audience) and note the value of its
   [`id`](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/reference/rest/v1/accountTypes.accounts.userLists) field, or use [`userLists.list`](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/reference/rest/v1/accountTypes.accounts.userLists/list)
   to retrieve the `id` of an existing Customer Match audience.

2. [Upload members to the audience](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/devguides/audiences/google-ads/customer-match/upload-data) by passing the audience `id`
   as the `productDestinationId` in an
   [`audienceMembers.ingest`](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/reference/rest/v1/audienceMembers/ingest) request.

3. [Check upload results and list size](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/devguides/audiences/google-ads/customer-match/check-results) using request
   diagnostics and the `sizeInfo` field on the audience.

4. [Remove all members from an audience](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/devguides/audiences/google-ads/customer-match/remove-all-members) if you need to
   replace or clear an existing audience.
